"The young centurion named Qiao Mu charged towards the bandits in the valley at the last moment."
"Do you know what his final words were?"
The storyteller in the teahouse looked around, and the teahouse fell silent. The murmurs faded away as everyone’s attention was captivated by his story:
"Before the young centurion died, he said to the old soldier beside him:
‘Old Huang, you wouldn’t want your wife to be a widow, right? You wouldn’t want your children to be bullied in the future, right?’
‘…you wouldn’t? Then why act tough with me here?’
"After saying this, the young centurion Qiao Mu charged alone towards the bandits, like a lone rock facing the waves, and in an instant, he was engulfed by the crowd…"
Pausing at this point, the storyteller seemed a bit parched, so he picked up a bowl of tea to moisten his lips.
"No, don’t keep us in suspense. What happened next?" The tea guests were hooked and clamored for more.……….
Qiao Mu chose a table by the street, ordered a pot of tea and two plates of peanuts.
The fat cat lazily lay on the table, yawning. It absentmindedly reached out to pat the nearby little Jingwei Bird.
The little Jingwei Bird ignored it, just tilted its head, seemingly listening intently to the storyteller narrating Qiao Mu’s story. The small bird’s eyes revealed a thoughtful and human-like expression.
Ever since the day the Yunxiao Sect Leader arrived in Linhe City and witnessed Jade Carp’s mutilated body, this little Jingwei Bird seemed to have changed.
Though it couldn’t speak, it appeared more composed and aloof. Qiao Mu even suspected it might have awakened memories from a past life.
The fat cat remained silly and carefree all day. When the waiter brought a plate of peanuts, its chubby face immediately leaned in, almost stepping on the plate, before Qiao Mu stopped it.
Qiao Mu picked up two peanuts and offered them to the fat cat. The fat cat became delighted, pawing at Qiao Mu’s fingers while its tongue reached for the peanuts and swallowed them eagerly.
After finishing a small plate, the cat licked Qiao Mu’s fingers feeling rough like sandpaper but also warm.
Qiao Mu instinctively pulled back his finger, but the chubby cat held onto his wrist and gently rubbed its head against his hand.
"I want more, give me more," whispered the chubby cat.
"You furball…" Qiao Mu scolded with a stern face, but deep down felt warm and ordered more peanut snacks.
The fluffy chubby little creature wanted to be petted, and Qiao Mu found it hard to resist.
Jingwei, who was listening to a story nearby, tilted her head and then jumped onto the table, near Qiao Mu’s hand, quietly waiting to be petted.
Qiao Mu glanced at Jingwei and fed some peanuts to the bird as well.
This familiar place seemed like it has been a thousand years, not just two, reminiscing about Qiao Mu’s stories caused a myriad of thoughts in people’s hearts.
But with the cat and bird cuddling nearby, the warm feeling in his heart spread like ink on paper, gradually dimming the feeling of being worlds apart.
A voice in the hall continued, saying:
"The Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method could not last long. Even though the young centurion Qiao Mu managed to develop internal strength at a critical moment, human strength is limited. Before long, he was covered in blood and perished."
The tea guests let out a slight sigh, but then someone immediately urged:
"Please continue with the story, don’t leave us hanging for the next time."
"Qiao Mu’s story is over, but there’s still his older brother Qiao Lin’s tale."
"Boring, I just want to hear about Qiao Lin returning to Yan City and rivers of blood flowing."
Among the tea guests, it was clear that some had heard this story more than once, so they urged for more.
However, at that moment behind Qiao Mu, a young woman’s voice suddenly sighed softly.
"Others just want to hear the story of the Qiao family seeking revenge."
"But few people remember Qiao Mu who died in Fallen Wood Valley, perhaps only Qiao Mu’s former subordinate who once saved him from a blade, still remembers him… don’t you think so?"
Qiao Mu touched his cheek and looked behind him.
Standing behind him was a young woman in a white dress with an oval face, hair tied up neatly in a ponytail, and carrying a long spear on her back, exuding a heroic and martial artist-like appearance.
Qiao Mu’s gaze briefly lingered on the long spear behind the white-dressed woman.
In this world of martial artists, many use short weapons like swords and daggers, while long spears like the one she carries are less common, mostly used by martial artists in the military.
It was somewhat surprising that this young woman in white dress wielded a long spear as her weapon.
Behind the young woman in white dress stood the sword-wearing traveler who had spoken with Qiao Mu in front of the city gate earlier.
Since mastering his Human Path Sutra and rejuvenating his appearance to a youthful state, sometimes people would come to talk to him.
"You’re right," Qiao Mu squinted his eyes slightly.
"In the storyteller’s tale, while everyone was eager to see the returned warrior Wu Erlang seek revenge and avenge the deaths of innocent people, not many paid attention to the tragic death of Wu Dalang."
"Yes," the woman in white nodded.
"That Qiao Mu, he was a young hero who once saved his former subordinates from danger. No matter how famous the Qiao family members are in martial arts in Yan City, in the hearts of Qiao Mu’s former soldiers, he will always be their hero from the past."
"Qiao Mu is truly exceptional, not like ordinary people."
"Indeed," Qiao Mu nodded happily, with a slight smile on his face as if saying, "Tell me more, I like what you’re saying."
The woman in white gazed into Qiao Mu’s eyes and continued,
"Not only Qiao Mu, but also Qiao Lin Qiao Sen are both brave heroes on earth."
"Absolutely," Qiao Mu agreed.
However, he found it a bit strange that this young woman initiated the conversation in such a way. Could she have identified his true identity?
This young female warrior, considering her age, indeed possesses impressive martial arts skills, estimated to have reached the fifth rank of inner strength. She is considered remarkable not only in the Yan City but also in the Jiu Province.
However, ultimately, a young female warrior who has not undergone spiritual refining, may not have deep enough experience in the martial world to uncover Qiao Mu’s identity.
Qiao Mu felt a flicker of doubt in his heart, but he did not reveal it.
The woman in white gradually furrowed her brows, eventually anger rising in her, as she pointed at Qiao Mu’s nose and sternly said:
"Who do you think you are, trying to impersonate Qiao Mu, a man of such heroic stature? Do you have no shame?"
"Carrying a fat cat and coloring your hair white, do you truly think of yourself as a member of the prestigious Qiao family?"
"…"

"May I ask how you embarked on the Starry Sky Train and walked towards the path of the Star God?"
"Because I ended the destruction and changed everyone’s destiny."
"So your first step in paving the way was to become a hero?"
"No, it was to stay alive, seeking help everywhere."
"And then?"
Laien adjusted his glasses and said firmly:
